"This (wheelchair acquireable van) would provide a better opportunity available as Kelsey continues to grow, as more appointments can often be out of state. This would provide far safety as we travel. "
"We have had Kelsey to Knoxville, Vanderbilt, Johnson City and Cincinnati. Kelsey has had numerous tests and the cosmetic surgeons do not know a diagnosis for Kelsey here, " the couple wrote. "Kelsey loves going places and reviewing everybody. "
